Cooking Tools Required

12-inch skillet

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 ½ pound rib eye or sirloin steak thinly sliced against the grain into 1x2 inch slices
16 ounce extra firm tofu 1 cake, cut into 1 inch cubes,
5 ounce drained shirataki noodles OR Miracle Noodles rinsed and drained
½ head Napa cabbage cut crosswise into 1 ½ inch strips
8 dried shiitake mushroom soaked in hot water
1 bunch fresh spinach cut into 2 inch lengths
2 leek cut diagonally into 1 inch lengths and thoroughly rinsed (white parts only)

Optional:

4 egg

COOKING BROTH

1 6-inch piece kelp or nori available at Asian market, or leave out
1 ½ cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup mirin
4 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

Start by making the konbu stock. Boil 1 ½ cups water; add the kelp piece, then turn off heat and let stand for 20 minutes.
Soak mushrooms in warm water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and reserve.
Meanwhile prepare meat, vegetables, noodles and tofu for cooking.
Heat a large sauté pan to medium-high. Add oil and sauté meat until cooked to medium-rare. Remove meat and reserve.
Add half the reserved konbu stock to the unwashed pan, along with the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a boil.
Add the tofu, shirataki noodles, cabbage, and leeks. Bring to a boil again and add reserved shiitake mushrooms, spinach, and beef. Drop in eggs (without stirring) if using, and cook until semi-firm, about 5 minutes.
Taste broth and add additional konbu stock if desired for less salty broth.

Reheating Instructions

Heat in the microwave on medium-high power until heated through.
